17 Oct porridge with apple + walnut

For the traditionalist, there’s nothing like a bowl of hot porridge to get going in the winter months. We love ours drizzled with a little Highbank Orchard Syrup, an incredible apple nectar made in Kilkenny (www.highbankorchards.com).

porridge with apple + walnut (for 2)

Ingredients

100g porridge oats

400ml milk or water

1 red apple, skin on

Handful of chopped walnuts

Cinnamon

Highbank Orchard Syrup or runny honey

Method

Put the oats and milk in a small sauce pan.

Simmer over a medium heat until thickened into a lovely porridge.

Serve with slices of apple, finely chopped walnuts, a sprinkling of cinnamon and a drizzle of Highbank Orchard Syrup or runny honey if you don’t have the syrup to hand.
